Generally visited all year round, keep in mind the hotter summer months of November to March are also part of the rain season so some rain may be experienced.

Azura Benguerra is rated as one of Mozambique’s top properties by both guests and booking agents. Located on the beautiful Benguerra Island, within the Bazaruto Archipelago Marine Park, the lodge is surrounded by the pristine nature the island is known for. The lodge was built in close partnership with the local community and it continues to support the island villages through job opportunities and their Rainbow Fund – which supports a variety of social and environmental projects large and small, including the building of a new school on the island. Accommodation at Azura Bengeurra is offered in a selection of spacious, well appointed beachfront villas. Guests comfort and happiness is of utmost importance for the team and they always go the extra mile to ensure that guests continue to be amazed during their stay.
